Goldleaf Scientific hosts an in house glass shop at our facility located in Riverside, CA. We can fix anything from a simple joint on a boiling flask to a broken carboy or a cracked wiped film system (WFE repair). Broken lab glass means costly down time and we assure customers the quickest turn around time as possible as their repair will not fall to the bottom of a pile or be pushed aside.

What are the lead times on a laboratory glass repair?

Smaller, easy repairs such as a broken joint or small chip can take around a week. While intricate repairs and custom designs can take upwards of 3-4 weeks. All glass must undergo rigorous cleaning upon arrival, glass parts must be ordered or manufactured, then the repair process finally begins. Following the repair a glass piece must be given the proper amount of time for cooling and annealing in a glassblowing oven. Each step in this process can take up to a day or two which is why glass repairs take at least week.

Can you rush a glass repair?

All repairs and custom work are on done on a first come, first serve basis. There is no fee to expedite the repair or move it to the front of the line out of respect for current customers expected lead times. Even so, as per the previous section, no glass repair can take less than a week due to unavoidable production requirements.

How much does a glass repair cost?

A simple glassware repair such as replacing a joint is around $100 plus the cost of parts, and is usually less than $200 in total. Depending on the severity of damage, we can estimate a price for labor and parts within a day. Call us about your repair and you will receive a quote the same day for pricing and lead time estimates. Please provide pictures of the broken glassware.

You can ship us your piece from anywhere in the US.

Since every repair is unique, we can only give a rough estimate to the cost when quoting over the phone/email. The exact cost of repair may change as the repair process goes on, but we are usually able to keep the exact quoted price. Any unexpected costs will be communicated with the customer as soon as they are discovered.
